Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the site is a suitable location for the development proposed with respect to the locational strategy of the development plan
whether the proposal is in a sequentially preferable location and would be at an acceptable risk of flooding
the effect of the proposal on the operation of the highway network
the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan locational strategy, fails the sequential flood risk test, and would have an adverse effect on highway safety, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh these breaches.

Framework references: 88, 173, 174

Plan policies cited: Policy RD2, Policy CS1, Policy CS2, Policy CS3, Policy DS16, Policy CS17, Policy T2, Policy DS1, Policy CS5

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
